Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
How long till this goes away?

I try to remember to forget you
But I break down every time I do
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you

Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?

I can't seem to get my heart over you
'Cause you creep into everything I do
And now I'm dying to know
How he touches you
I can't see him with you

Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
How long till this goes away?

She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said, she said she said she's sorry
With one finger, I said, "F*ck that"

I can tell you're lying when your lips move
'Cause of one lie: "It's not me, it's you."
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you

Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath, but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?

Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
'Cause everywhere I look, I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
How long till this goes away?

She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said, she said, she said she's sorry
With one finger...
With one finger, I said f*ck that
